I’ll try to make this as quick as possible, so that we can move on with our day…

Stirring up all kinds of craziness on this Cyber Monday is a report out of the ComputerWorldcamp that suggests the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon will go up for pre-order tomorrow (November 29), with December 8 as the official launch day. Their source is an angry VZW customer who chatted up customer service to find out what the deal was with the delayed launch. The rep he spoke with via online chat followed by a phone call, was clear that the phone would be available soon. That same rep also confirmed to the customer that a local store would be calling to let him know that they would be holding a G-Nex for him on launch day, December 8.

I don’t mean to crush dreams this morning, but this isn’t exactly a confirmation directly from Verizon PR or a company spokesperson. This, as with a lot of the rumors floating about these days, is from a CS rep and a store. To my knowledge, those dates are current targets, but until Big Red makes it publicly official, I would be hesitant to mark them on your calendars as the day. We have seen very similar emails over the last few days from readers who have spoken with VZW reps, but again, it’s tough to take this as anything more than unofficial for now.

Feel free to cross those fingers though – if these dates are going to hold up, we should know something tomorrow either way.

ok guys i called secaucus store back and now the guy said “i thought u meant the galaxy tab which pre order starts tomorow. i was like WATTTT i repeated nexus several times. blah I”m assuming thats what other stores are thinking too tab over nexus confusion yay

droseum20

this is not true. just called 800 verizon number and he said it would be in the system by now, but it is not. oh well, guess we will just have to wait a little longer.

Earleepa

When I talked to the salesladies at my local store on Friday the only thing they were sure about is that they get the dummy phones about 2 to 3 days before an actual launch so until I see a dummy galaxy nexus in my Verizon store I’m not believing anything I read and even less of what I hear or read on this site.

Chrisriner84

I don’t consider myself a patient person by any means, and my gf is ready to move out she is so sick of hearing me talk about this phone.

That being said, I LOVE these wishy washy rumored dates. Everyone needs to just shut up and admit it: the entire reason we come to this site is to chomp at the bit of any possible insider news about this phone that they can throw at us. Trolls, fan boys, and everyone in between– we’re like a school of sharks and kellex is throwing us the chum. I know I sure as hell don’t have any Verizon contacts on the inside to get my info from, so I’ll keep leaving the insider info to Droid life, and taking it with a grain of salt and a swaller of white lightning.

Stating El Obvious

The problem is it doesn’t appear Kellex has any contacts inside either, because he’s just throwing out every possibility under the sun. When/IF the phone comes out on the 8th he’ll post an article with “…like we told you a few weeks ago” completely ignoring Oct 27th, November 3rd, November 10th, November 21st, November 27th and November 29th as dates he also “told us” weeks ago.

Kellex got into tech blogging at the right place at the right time. He now makes money with these link bait articles. Can you blame him? I’d do the exact same thing.

Lol. True story. My wife is so tired of hearing about this phone that she bought me a Rezound hoping to shut me up. Nope. Now I just check Droid Life on my Rezound 10 times a day.

Anonymous

Noooooooooooo!

The Powers That Be,

Please do not allow this to be the case. Do not allow tomorrow to be the pre-order date, as I don’t get paid until around mid-December, and would hate to miss the opportunity to pre-order one of the best new phones that even a Greek God would be happy to own.

That is all.

Has there been a poll to see how many Droid-Life readers are going to be holding out for this phone. We should get one started so I will know how many days in advance I need to camp out in front of my Verizon.

WayneBradyKnowsAll

You will not need to camp out at Verizon for this phone. Wayne Brady knows this.

Alex Schechter

Can anyone show me where to chat with a verizon rep? I can’t find it on their site.

went to 3 verisons up here in new hampshire one said it was delayed at least a month saying there was testing problems other 2 said they had no idea but they havent started any training

Brandon Duckett

Tomorrow @GoogleNexus:twitter should be announcing the 10th (and originally final) winner of their Galaxy Nexus giveaway contest. Perhaps they timed it out for a possible announcement? Perhaps I’m trying to see the Matrix too hard?

Either way, I still find it hilarious that on the VerizonWireless webpage, if you search Galaxy Nexus, you get a search result page with the Galaxy Nexus launch page banner at the top, while if you search Nexus Prime, Boom you go straight to the launch page. No wonder Best Buy is confused!

My cousin’s best friend’s girlfriend’s little brother’s best friend has confirmed the Nexus is made of plastic. Do I get a headline now?

Too many releases of phones too fast…Droid 4 expected soon; at this rate we will be on droid 7 by the spring. And I think that ICS will have some bugs that need to be ironed out…I’ll go with the Droid RAZR.

The real question is not whether that random customer service rep was correct about pre-orders for tomorrow, but whether the actual local store called the guy and put his name down for December 8.

thatguy

Yeah, and the guy in a VZW store told me its going to release friday, last friday…

Anonymous

This would be a fantastic way to start the workweek after the long holiday weekend…

I like what the rep told me yesterday when I was ordering a phone for my brother. “The Galaxy Nexus. We been having problems with that. Haven’t seen anything in the system. I would probably expect it by March of 2012.”

Dreagoneer

This is why I loathe Samsung. They don’t know how to keep their products low profile until they officially release them. They’ve been causing enough stir ups in between carriers, nationwide and worldwide.

CPhin

man don’t loathe samsung…loathe verizon. verizon needs to start releasing or passing on these phones quicker. that bionic fiasco was ridiculous. they should have just passed on the phone instead of testing and retesting for months only to have it replaced by a newer model a month later.

sometimes an executive has to make an executive decision. consider that the hardware specs on the GNex are not that much different than the GS2 and we have a type of phone that has been touted as maybe the best phone in the world that still hasn’t made it to Verizon. honestly what it wrong with these guys at this company. can’t say its the manufacturers because no matter the oem, Big Red seems to stall out most of the major phones they have.

Kris

SAVE YOUR MONEY FOLKS!

Get the HTC Ville which should be out by spring of 2012. Super sexy skinny design, ICS… and the hardware specs will kill the Nexus 3 times over!

Anybody who has read the reviews for the Nexus knows well this phone is not all that good… and it is silly to buy an inferior phone just because you can get updates directly from google.

Dominick DeVito

People aren’t buying the Nexus for specs

AndroidLover

Agree with Kris here.

I look at it this way. Should we buy a phone because we are die hard aficionados of something or because we think a certain facet about the face that is NOT related to it’s working is somehow THE criterion for a consumer to like the phone?

The bottom line that a regular consumer would think about is… How well is this phone going to service me? Pure ICS WILL come to the HTC devices.. it is only a matter of time. But other roms will NOT come to the nexus devices.
Secondly…. for me at least.. I need a good camera phone.. and apparently, from the reviews I’ve read.. the camera is only mediocre.

Dominick DeVito

I think you have that backwards.

I haven’t read it anywhere, but what makes you think HTC ICS phones will be skinless?

And as for the Nexus phones, you’re incorrect. The Nexus One and Nexus S have custom dev support, compliments of Pete Alfonso.

I don’t think he is saying HTC phone would be skinless. He is saying.. Pure ICS will be easily available to the HTC phones thru the development community. What Nexus phones run Sense or other customized Roms with skins?

Dominick DeVito

Ah, thanks.

But why would anyone want Sense on a stock phone?

Anonymous

Sense is actually not too bad. I know it used to get a lot of flak back in the early days when CM Roms were hot. But I can guarantee you.. stock Sense IS THE BEST for example when it comes to the thunderbolt. Gone are the days when Sense brought down the resources and bogged down the system and was unstable.
The Cyanogen team STILL not a good performing rom… however sense on the TB is the best when it comes to battery life, call quality and over all stability.

Anonymous

sense sucks on battery for the tb. If it was so good why is it once you remove sense battery improves greatly? I don’t think you tried another rom because if you would have a stock rom you would know this….

Anonymous

false statement. NO OTHER ROM for the TB performs as well as stock.. period. Be it battery life or radio reception etc. The rest are just mashups by developers who think they know what they are doing.

Dominick DeVito

I retract my reply. I misread your comment.

FortitudineVincimus

Speak for yourself homie.

I 100% buy phones based on hardware specs. Every new phone and many recent releases will sport ICS. So that is covered. What then makes the phone worthy of 2 years of use… hardware.

Dominick DeVito

Are you buying the G-Nex?

Anonymous

eh updates make it more worthy than hardware. Look at the phones with hardware that aren’t updated and how behind they are. I mean Look how much IOS 5 changed the i4 which didn’t have that great of internals. Specs are nothing if they aren’t supported and are left with buggy software.

Anonymous

but again.. with HTC phones.. you can install whatever software you want after you root it. From when has not getting updates from Verizon.. stopped us from putting the latest and greatest on our phones?

Dominick DeVito

Exactly – think about how much better the Droid Charge would be (or the T-Bolt would have been) if they got updated (sooner in the case of the T-Bolt).

Old software makes anything look older than it isshould be.

Cam

Pretty sure people aren’t buying it because it’s not out yet…at least in the US.

And you know the ville will be so great? HTC was never very good with battery life and I am sure being a quad core will be worse with battery. Yeah save me the it has 4 cores so it will save battery, same thing was said about dual core and that wasn’t the case. Plus sense is a resource hog in itself.

Anonymous

more cores actually improve battery life. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Anonymous

Not if the software is not optimized for it.

Anonymous

and you are assuming ICS isn’t or Sense on a future device isn’t?

If sense was optimized for multiple cores it would not cause some of the dual cores to lag.

How can ANYONE even be mad about a “delayed launch” when VZW has never promised nor made an official launch date announcement to begin with?

I think we need to start adding disclaimers to every blog post “these are rumors and speculation and in no way is this information endorsed or verified to be official or true”

Anonymous

Personally not mad per say, but anyone that follows these tech blogs knows that Verizon is basically sitting on the ready to go phone to shove the Razr down our throats simply because they probably make more money off of a Razr sale. That is why people are upset.

Jeff

holy shit! why doesn’t Android get any respect from verizon when it powers 90% of the smart phones no their network?!!!? this fiasco would NEVER have been allowed by Apple. they had launch dates and a shit ton of advertising. yet here comes a true next gen phone and Verizon is fu*&ing it up! this pisses me off. why do you hate no iPhone customers Verizon?

Anonymous

not really, if you look at actual power users who have bought this phone and used it.. they’ve put their reviews up on xda and other forums.. and they don’t seem to be very happy about it.

for one, there is no way to remove the search bar from the top of the phone. We already know about the volume issue (which they say will be fixed).. The Graphics benchmark was never good to begin with… and the camera on the phone is just plain mediocre.. and in fact the biggest disappointment of all… and who could forget about flimsy and cheap the back cover is.

yeah maybe but it does have a back cover and that means a lot to a bunch of us.

Dominick DeVito

And which phone is better according to you?

The fat one with the small battery or the anorexic one with the lack of removable battery? And last I checked both had lower benchmarks than the G-Nex.

Anonymous

I think sadly enough.. none of the phones really warrant an immediate jump at this point. After trying the iphone 4s (which was all great..except for the small screen size).. I think I’m gonna stick with my thunderbolt for another few months at least even though I’m eligible for an upgrade.

Rick

umm .. most (and that’s a LOT) of the reviews are very positive. it’s not a perfect phone, but it is getting generally good reviews.

EC8CH

Most reviews I’ve read have said it is a great phone although not perfect (camera could be better).

Damented

My 2cents… I have owned 3 rarzs since the 14th. I returned the 3rd one and now using my Thunderbolt. after all said in down without going into detail about everything . I will be getting a call from a tier 2 rep on the 7th. I bring this up because I told them I wanted the nexus and I was talked into getting a phone that ended up causing me grief. So maybe the 8th is the day . I wouldn’t hold my breath but you never know, she know something we all don’t.

Edwin M

I’m over this. I gave in. I returned my Droid RAZR and bought an HTC Rezound for $50 on black friday from costco online.

Anonymous

Let us know how you like it. Why did you return the Razr?

Edwin M

I returned it mostly because of the price. $250 for RAZR compared to $50 for Rezound. Also, the battery life wasn’t too great. As far as the look, feel, and performance of the phone, it was awesome. It worked great and integrated everything effortlessly. I’m getting my Rezound Wednesday or Thursday.

The Observer

All excitement I had for this phone is gone. I’m still going to buy it, but it’s not going to be the same experience. Bummer.

It’s not going to be the same? How? Does waiting 3-6 weeks longer than you anticipated make ICS or the Nexus any slower, less user-friendly, or worse off in any way?

Do you realize that because the hardware and software were made essentially in tandem with one another that it’ll deliver the best experience of any phone for at least the next 6-9 months, if not longer? Do you understand the Galaxy Nexus will probably be the only 4G LTE Verizon smartphone without any real bloat, that isn’t locked down, and that delivers a stock ICS experience? Do you understand this is probably the first and only (for now) phone Verizon will carry that, because of the nature of stock, unlocked Android, will allow surcharge-free tethering wirelessly and via USB? *You can tether Verizon’s awesome 4G LTE network, without paying extra, as much as you want.* These things aren’t going to change just because the phone came out a few weeks later – and follow-up phones aren’t going to be magically better because the Galaxy Nexus released a bit late, either.Further, this is the only phone that has had glowing reviews to the point that many are ascribing it as “better than the iphone” – for once we get our cake and we get to eat it, too, and you’re going to complain “it’s not the same as it could have been” when literally nothing has actually changed except a bit of time has passed? If anything, the software we’ll have right out of the gate will be better than it was going to be had it been released earlier in November (this is an assumption, but a logical one at that).

In my opinion, your disappointment seems misplaced. You seem to be pointing it all toward the Galaxy Nexus when it did nothing wrong – it didn’t change, or get modified in any meaningful way that would further enhance or detract from the experience. It’s the same amazing phone it was promised to be when Google unveiled it. Your disappointment should be aimed squarely at Verizon, not at Google or the phone itself.

Roshan John

dayummm… kid went innnnnnnnn and decided to annihilate the observer.

zUFC

sorry josh but i agree with him. It has lost some appeal to me. I don’t know why (maybe because of the bad things we hear about it while we wait). but if i had this three weeks ago it would have been much more exciting.

I’m with The Observer on this one. It’s gotten to the point now that another GN rumor just makes me go… meh. I can’t get excited anymore because there has been so much false excitement in the last month I’m just tired of the anticipation and then realization that the last rumored date isn’t going to pan out. Right now I’ll just remain steady until VZW sets an announcement date. Even then, I probably won’t get excited until I actually have the phone in my hands.

kmax

As one anxiously awaiting the Nexus I wish it would come out already, but as a day one purchaser of the XOOM on Verizon with it’s not ready for primetime version of Honeycomb I am very happy to wait and let them get this one right before I put down my cash.

-Hey is this true??? Is so that’s amazing. I figured I’d have to root to be able to tether for free.

My $199 or $299 has collected so much dust in my wallet. VZW is going to have to shake all that off whenever I finally do hand it over.

$199. please.

I passed on the Bionic because of the delays, hindsite glad I did.. I am waiting, (can’t say patiently) for the Gnex to arrive to do a hands on comparison to with the Razr. Both phones have pros and cons for me. If this phone isn’t available by the 8th I will pass on both. 2012 is right around the corner and come January there will be a new beast that we will all be talking about.

i waited for a year for the bionic and passed also. Yes 2012 is close but the G-nex and ICS were made together, they were made for each other. How can you go against that? I can’t, quad-core phones will have such terrible battery life and thats what will be big in 2012. OG droid for life.

FortitudineVincimus

I said it before, and I will say it again.. I am one of the few that is willing to admit… I don’t f****** care anymore. Really lost interest in this phone and just BS of it all. I have an upgrade waiting on me and at this time, I plan to wait until 2012 and see what Tegra 3 type phones start rolling out that have better hardware than the mediocre hardware on the Nexus.

Ok. Have fun with your battery-draining, non-optimized, bloated, skinned, and slow-to-be-updated supersupersuper quad ultra mega phones of 2012. I will buy the Nexus whenever it comes out and I will be among the happiest Android users in the world. Enjoy your decision!

FortitudineVincimus

Yeah? Tell that to all the owners who have to flash the ROM to fix the volume issue on their brand new phones.

As well, nice of you to throw out all the trite, regurgitated talking points about what it suppose to make this phone so great. Think for yourself much?

The phone is delayed partially to fix the volume issue so that won’t be a problem

Hey, I understand your frustration….

But as soon as these phones start flowing and everyone is going crazy I bet I’ll see you in line at the Verizon store to get one like a screaming Beatles fan!

Rohdawgeleven

You’ll be first in line the day it comes out…….

FortitudineVincimus

Be rest assured, I will not. I will read everything posted, but I will 99% likely sit back and wait for a quad core phone that has BETTER battery life and is more modern hardware. Even if I did end up with this phone, I will not preorder it or be an early adaptor.

I love the fact this phone is lagging at coming out as it allows me to see the newer rumored phones that use better hardware specs, quad cores, nicer cameras, removable memory, thinner, etc.

So, if true, that would coincide with the rumored Transformer Prime release.

Perhaps this person is using what he heard as bait for Verizon to disprove this rumor.

Not a bad strategy, especially with the word “confirmed” in the title, from a pretty reputable site.

Anonymous

Here is what I get from the article:

Someone, probably with an attitude, chatted with a Verizon CS rep demanded to know when the Gnex was being released probably threatening to move his line off his moms account and to Sprint or something. The CS rep told them what they’ve read on the internet, probably here, and the this person starts email blogs saying they know when the device is going to be released.

Tblain

I don’t believe it….

Verizon has online chat? Where the hell did he find that? I’ve looked all over their stupid website and can never find online chat. Email? check. Forums? check. Mailing address? check. Smoke signal? check. No online chat. Show me where it is, or I don’t think this holds any water.

I find it comforting to be honest… I get all my android news here, and that includes the garbage rumors (which, taken with a grain of salt, can be idly interesting). But typically, DL isn’t hyping the shit out of it, just reporting what other sites have said, with their own, often accurate, disclaimer. If this were reported sans skepticism, I’d have an issue with the article, but as it reads, I take away “some site is saying that somebody said this. Doesn’t sound too reliable, but hey… maybe we’ll be lucky and have a preorder on our hands at midnight!”

EC8CH

I passed the EIT (which I guess they call the Fundamentals of Engineering exam now-a-days), however I’ve never taken the PE exam as our industry doesn’t require us to be licensed. So if you’re saying I’m not a licensed professional engineer then you would be correct. I however find it more likely that you won’t know what I’m talking about unless you spend 10 minutes Googling what I’ve said. In either case I frankly don’t care what you believe, just know that Droid-Life has a diverse community of readers.

Stating El Obvious

I do believe Droid-Life has a diverse community of readers. What I don’t believe is that a mechanical engineer can take hours out of his workday to get into arguments with other people. I also don’t believe that a mechanical engineer wouldn’t try so hard to convince others that he’s a mechanical engineer. Like Shakespeare said “The lady doth protest too much”…you’re a tryhard, and a bad one at that.

EC8CH

Well… I guess you can add that to the list of things you’ve been wrong about.

Stating El Obvious

Hey man, I’d give you more respect if you were just honest. The other day you were saying you’re a mechanical engineer, today you’re saying you took some test and you’re not licensed. Which is it? If you’re just here to troll, just admit it, you’d be more appreciated that way.

You’re not an engineer. A real engineer has this thing called a bachelor’s degree in engineering, and didn’t just roll out of bed one day and take some 5th grade level test to get a job making pill boxes. Stop talking about your occupation. Nobody cares and you’re misrepresenting yourself. Troll.

Mctypething

it all makes sense now. he passed some multiple choice test to do some hack-job work and calls himself an engineer. A real engineer went through a grueling degree program and would never have the time or the inclination to troll comment boards all day. Don’t listen to this dope.

Not going to happen that soon. Word I’ve gotten over the holiday wkend is VZW will NOT ship or have the Gnex in stores anytime before the wk of 12/12. Now when a preOrder may go live is a whole different story. But from what I gather and them not saying specifically it sounds to me like preOrders may start sometime next wk with devices finally going out the following wk

seeing as how verizon extended their return period through january 15th, i went ahead and got a razr to hold me over until this phone is released (my og droid did its best to make it but i couldn’t get over the spastic screen and litany of other defects). i strongly suggest other people do the same.

Anonymous

I thought about that.. but then wondered if I would lose out on my loyalty credit from VZW. Instead, I’m trying a new ROM on my DX.. (not helping much)

Anonymous

i asked that same question and the answer is you don’t lose your loyalty credit, you just have to pay a $35 restocking fee. you also keep your unlimited data plan if you have a grandfathered plan.

goodfella

I don’t believe the return extension apply’s for the Droid Razr or any mobile phone. Last time I checked at well at least at Best Buy is that they offered 14 day refund and 30 day return. I just returned mine for a refund after 13 days of use as I could not risk having it for 30 days and the Nexus never comes out….I really don’t want to be stuck with a Razr..

Anonymous

I don’t know what Best Buy does, but it is 100% true for Verizon stores. It says so on the receipt. You do have to pay $35 to swap though.

I am a Verizon Wireless customer service representative and as of last night at 11pm when i left work there has not been any information released on the G-Nex to our internal systems…so take that for what it is.
